Ian David Green recommends:
Plaintive and melodic, the apparent simplicity of the arrangements leaves a lasting impression. Like a modern Joni Mitchell but, dare I say it, better.

Anyone who can include a song with a 53-word title that still fits and makes sense deserves a tip of the hat. Endlessly inventive and surprising, this album is a true original. Chicago is a classic.

Saint Bartlett
by Damien Jurado
A little sparser than his following albums, Saint Bartlett is a clever mix of subtle folk with more driven, anthemic arrangements. Cloudy Shoes is a great opener, Falling Snow hauntingly beautiful.

The Edge of the Land
by Katie Spencer
supported by 13 fans who also own “Bonus live track - Swallows”
I first heard Katie Spencer on YouTube when she was featured on the For Bert Jansch playlist. Katie played her own song called Shannon Road. The lead break that she plays twice really got my attention. I became a fan instantly. Every track on this album is lovely. The whole listening experience is like a favourite film running through my head. I'm so glad that in my twilight years I discovered Katie. I wish her a long and succesful career in music.

Psych-folk with a late 60s / early 70s flavour. If you like Nick Drake or Fairport Convention you will enjoy this. It's an observation of change and a celebration of a hazy, high summer harvest. The music transports you to the moorlands and mill towns of Northern England. Dark and open and embellished with beautiful melodies and thoughtful lyrics. This is album of the year 2021 for me.
